The wood bottom mag has what looks to be an Erfurt proof but no serial number? Somewhat odd but they might have made replacement mags this way?

The pistol looks very nice but there shouldn't be a serial number on the left front rail? This is a little bothersome because it's redundant..the serial number is on the barrel and frame already? Anyone seen this?

If the insides are good no matter I would offer $1200 for the pistol, 2 mags and holster. If your friend is happy with that then you are golden. If not I might go as high as $1500 but this is depending on the insides being correct and the grips being originals.
The mags you will need would be either aluminum bottom with a center pin or black plastic. With a 42 chamber date I would guess black bottoms. Eagle 37 with a P08 marking.
Holster looks nice.
